NordVPN - Reviews and experiences

Was skeptical, friend swore—really works.

Delivery was surprisingly quick, friendly support.

Really handy, a tad pricey, happy.

non-refundable charge — needed it for moving, oddly credited.

Mid-call I noticed no hiccups — does the job, glad overall.

Needed help after a painful move; Marco explained everything — I sighed, really grateful.

Felt smooth to use, quick answer — well, actually relieved.

On a long trip, after being burned by a free VPN, activation email arrived fast and support patiently set me up — relieved.

Saw it on a tech blog and told a coworker. Feels solid, simple to use, streamed surprisingly well though.

Started using it last Thursday; delivery was late, customer service ignored invoice requests, kinda shrugged, low trust.

Just got it — delivery was quick and customer support actually helped me set it up; I use it daily, minor glitches though.

Been using this VPN about four years on Windows, Linux and Android and honestly it just works. Bandwidth’s solid, latency low, and customer support actually helped once after bad experiences elsewhere — a nice surprise.

I needed help during a move, my back's shot; delivery arrived promptly, bot passed me to Bernanda quickly, she fixed it, relieved, glad

Had to use it while travelling for work after a previous VPN fiasco — I remember the moment I relaxed, when support actually walked me through a fix and my apps started working. Not flawless, but simple to use and mostly worth it.

don't overcomplicate settings — leave it as is.

I usually don't notice a VPN — this one just quietly works on my laptop and phone. I ran two services for years, but six months ago I dropped the backup because Nord felt solid. Had a couple small hiccups and support actually sorted things fast (unlike one other provider I tried).

Ended up with two subscriptions by mistake. Couldn’t cancel one or get a refund, so I was nervous. They merged them into one, so I’ve effectively got 54 months of coverage now. It feels oddly relieving to know I’m covered long-term. Friendly, professional contact. Had worse experiences elsewhere, so this was a pleasant surprise.

I was about ready to give up after it froze twice during my morning routine, but the one time it actually loaded — slow, but solid — I grinned. Made my coffee playlist and didn't have to reboot. Still had a billing hiccup and they weren't great on the phone, but that tiny smooth run made me keep it, for now.

By the time I realised it didn’t work, the subscription had already renewed. I’d seen an ad and a colleague actually recommended NordVPN specifically for travel to mainland China, so I signed up and tested it on day one — nothing worked. The app itself looked good and setup was dead easy, which surprised me and made me think it might be okay, but it failed at the one thing I bought it for. I’d meant to cancel inside the 30-day window but life got in the way and I missed it. When I reached out to support right after the renewal they even acknowledged there’d been no real usage on my account, yet stuck to the 30-day rule and refused a refund. That rigid stance is what annoyed me most, more than the product fail. I passed the details and ticket number to the colleague who recommended it; they were as baffled as I was. Not recommended if you need it for China.

On a slow afternoon I signed up because my job depends on reliable email and a decent password vault. I had doubts before buying. Advanced VPN features had, in my past use and online chatter, a habit of breaking simple things like composing or attaching files in Gmail. That was my main worry. At first I did hit that problem — or maybe a Windows update caused it. It messed with work. After some updates and fiddling with settings the issues largely disappeared. The password vault itself feels solid. The price felt steep though. I’ll keep paying for now, but only if it doesn’t mess with my communications again. Still watching, but mostly satisfied.
